Tribute to American Arts & Crafts<br />

Pasadena Heritage hosts 21st annual Craftsman Weekend<br />

Pasadena’s 21st annual Craftsman Weekend, a tribute to the American<br />

Arts & Crafts movement and the most comprehensive celebration<br />

of its type in the Western U.S., will be held Oct. 19-21 under<br />

sponsorship of the Pasadena Heritage organization.<br />

The weekend’s offerings will include a tour of significant Craftsman-era<br />

houses, a variety of bus and walking tours, evening receptions<br />

at historic sites, an exposition show and sale, lectures,<br />

presentations and workshops.<br />

The signature event of the Weekend is the Craftsman House Tour on<br />

Oct. 21 (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.). The in-depth drive- yourself tour provides the<br />

opportunity to experience the rich variety of Craftsman architecture<br />

that makes Pasadena a destination for Arts and Crafts enthusiasts.<br />

This year’s tour features five homes. One of the featured homes will<br />

be the Woodworth speculative house, designed in 1911 by the Foss<br />

Designing and Building Co. This two-story, Chalet-style home has<br />

many features of the traditional Craftsman home, including a wide,<br />

welcoming front door, and a large living room with interesting cove<br />

moldings and floating box beams. The den has beautiful pocket doors,<br />

and the dining room has wonderful built-ins with original colored<br />

glass and grass-cloth covered walls.<br />

Celebrating its centennial is the 1912 Lindley House. Designed by<br />

David M. Renton, and recently designated a city landmark, it is currently<br />

home to the nonprofit organization, the Journey House. Even<br />

through many changes and owners, it has amazingly retained its beautiful<br />

stained woodwork, board and baton wainscoting in the dining<br />

room, an original fireplace, and large pocket doors.<br />

Other homes on the tour will include a beautifully restored home<br />

in the Orange Heights neighborhood, and two other distinctive bun-<br />
